The
East African slave trade involved fewer countries than the West African
slave trade. In the East African slave trade, East Africans of some
port cities of a few countries were taken (tricked sometimes) by Arabs
from Oman and a few other places, and were sold to other East Africans
in other countries. Very few were actually taken out of Africa. These
slaves kept their identity and culture throughout slavery unlike what
happened in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
